Tough call Jeff. I hate pills and have a high distrust of pharmaceutical companies like yourself. I haven't had any medical issues where I had to have them so I haven't had to make any tough decisions. Except I have gotten into disagreements with doctors when I tell them I don't want any painkillers that might be addictive. "They're all addictive" has been the response I've gotten. And then we come to an agreement that I will fill the prescription so that I don't call the doctor at 3 in the morning with a kidney stone destroying me.
I think in this case, I would probably take the pill to reduce inflammation. That doesn't sound like it should be a long term need.
